I think their pretty good on fuel tbh. It's a big engine in a small car, takes no effort to get it moving. Depends how your driving it though. Have had over 300 miles to a tank but have also had less than 200

Generally get about 50 miles to a tenner with a mixture of driving. They're more economical than a 1.6 if you drive them softly I've been told.

Just treat it nice it will do the same back

Depends how you drive them, I used to have one, and drove 60ish miles a day to work and back. On a late day, it would cost £10, on a chilled out day, £5. Really does depend how heavy your right foot is.
I used to do around 300/350 miles to a tank on average. Done a whole tank in less than 150 before too...
